I don't normally make a habit of driving to Dahlonega or eating at McDonald's, but I found myself out here and really hungry. At 1st I was a little upset because they had closed off the drive-thru but then I realized they closed it because they were pressure washing it. I was pretty impressed by that. So I went inside and ordered 6 piece chicken nuggets and when I tell you they were the freshest, crispiest, best tasting nuggets I ever had... please believe me! The sweet tea was awesome too! Oh and the people there were so nice. Even though their drive-thru was shut down and people were forced to come inside to place their orders, they got everyone in and out in a hurry. Their restaurant was pretty clean...and "new-looking", I might add. Only thing is they were out of sweet tea and straws when I came in, but they quickly rectified that issue. BOTTOM LINE: I would definitely come back here. read more

This is the best McDonald's I ever get to eat! I always get the double quarter pounder with cheese. The meat quality is over the top outstanding! My other two guests enjoyed the new wraps, one had the ranch wrap, the other had the spicy wrap. My elder guest particularly enjoyed the music choice in this particular McDonald's, as it was old-school easy listening music from years back. The store is immaculately clean and the service is excellent! We will definitely return on our next trip up there! read more

I recently stopped here traveling through town with my family. The staff was friendly. The bathrooms were dirty with dirt hanging out of the vents. The tables in the restaurants were not properly clean. It wasn't like the restaurant was jammed at the time and the staff did not have time to clean. The staff was just standing around. The food was ok. Overall experience is if you're just going to grab something quick then fine but I would not make it one of my go-to places. read more

See all

On a Sunday morning, I placed a pick up order at around 10:20 A.M for a breakfast order of a bunch of people. Whenever I got there, It was 11:02. They told me they stopped serving breakfast at 10:59, and couldn't give me my order because they "were out of everything.." completely ridiculous, I placed an order damn near an hour before and I can't pick it up. I would've just stuck to chick-fil-a if it wasn't a Sunday. read more

They will ALWAYS make you pull out of the drive through and wait. McDonald's killed fast food prices and these guys killed the fast part. Average McDonald's otherwise read more

This experience made me install yelp. As someone who is a poor college student, i understand the stress of deadlines and getting it right, the imbeciles running that Double Arch Hell do not. What is the point of fast food or any kind of drive-thru if I am made to sit in my car pulled over for an additional 40 minutes just to find out you not only got my order wrong but charged me for it additionally. I have little else place to chose as a night owl college student, but I will tank the gas prices to drive some place else that isn't that piece of shit. read more

This McDonald's sucks. Spent 30 dollars and they wouldn't make my food for pick up. Too many smoke breaks. Turns out a woman comes out with a horrible haircut and looks at me like I'm an idiot for wanting my food. Say we're cleaning welll be open in 4 hours. No way they're cleaning for 4 hours this chick didn't seem to do a dam thing. Looked so fresh thought she had just clocked in, walking out to the parking lot. Def earning her wanted 20 bucks an hour yall fuckin suck. read more

A Michelin-Star Experience at McDonald's Dining at McDonald's felt like stepping into a secret Michelin-starred haven. My Royale with Cheese was sheer artistry--succulent beef, molten cheese, and a flawless sesame bun in perfect harmony. The fries were golden, crisp perfection, each one a delicate triumph. Dessert was a revelation: the McFlurry--silky vanilla soft-serve folded with crunchy Oreos--worthy of any fine French pâtisserie. Service was swift yet elegant, elevating fast food to haute cuisine. Five stars for turning the everyday into an unforgettable gourmet delight! read more

Egg McMuffins are always Burt !!! Wish they were better someone not paying attention

This location has seriously improved over the last two years. Both food quality and service have been much better!

I used to eat here a lot but the service was slow and the fries were always old. The past few times the food and service have been great. I don't know if they have a new manager or what but the food has been great. read more

Fast service, friendly staff, food is always consistent at all McDonald's. It's so much better than my hometown McDonald's. Always a safe bet when traveling to get something that you are used to. Good location. read more

The person at the drive-thru intercom/register was eating and chewing while trying to interact with me (with food on his face, ugh). At the 2nd window, I was handed my drink and asked to pull away from the window to wait, even though I was the only one in the drive-thru (this so they won't appear to have slow service, once you pull away from the window, your transaction is closed out). That's when I noticed some of the servers had very long fake fingernails, no gloves, and no hair nets/coverings. I politely asked for a refund and the manager suddenly appeared with my order. I again asked for a refund and she gave me my money back. When she asked why, I told her that I had lost my appetite. I don't expect much from McD's to begin with, I mean, it's not very good and not very good for me. I do however expect sanitary conditions and somewhat professional service. A restaurant and its employees are only as good as its management, and this place is obviously mismanaged. read more

Big rush tonight after the 4th of July festivities and fireworks and they served me and my family of 7 in record timing. Very impressed with service and quality of food great job to this night staff!!! read more

Do not visit this store cleanliness and food quality are terrible staff is rude and unpleasant management is disrespectful lazy and corrupt you do not want to work here or eat here do not waste your time or your health a this miserable location they will only waste your time and disrespect you and your food they need to clean house completely chances of getting sick are very high read more

Got our order wrong as always and fastfood isn't fast anymore. I mean do these crew members read their job description before they start????

The owner likes to be an asshole to kids, and is very unprofessional. Terrible service.

first off, I would give this establishment no stars if I could. I used to eat here all the time but the current employees are running it into the ground. I have been flipped off by a girl, Nicole I think her name is, simply for pulling into the parking lot. There are also a couple of boys who work here that I've heard got fired from another fast food restaurant for threatening bodily harm on their manager. YIke's. And now, on to the food. Mcdonalds is one of my favorite fast food chains. However, i refuse to eat at the Dahlonega location anymore. 1) because of the employee. 2) the food is some of the worst I have ever gotten from a drive thru. Cold burgers LOADED with mustard, hard nuggets that feel and taste like they have been sitting for hours, cold fries that taste like they never change the oil in their fryer (I have worked fast food) not to mention the amount of times I have asked for a sweet tea, one of the most popular drinks they have, only to receive unsweet. I have even brought it to their attention a couple of times, they will make me a new one, and it still ends up being unsweet. And I'm not talking about badly made sweet tea, you can tell this does not have a drop of sugar in it. The biggest issue here is that none of these people care. I get that it's fast food, but someone is paying money for this food, it's feeding someone's kids, it could even be what people are looking forward to at the end of the day, a treat, but I can assure you they are not going to get the quality from the crew, or the food that they deserve. read more

This McDonald's needs to change their website. 1) They do not do all day breakfast. We've tried on a couple of occasions to order breakfast only to be told NO. 2) This McDonald's is NOT open 24 hrs. 3) This McDonald's does NOT deliver. Either the OWNER , employees of McDonald's or the Corp. office is not telling the truth to the public. Also, this would be under false advertising. Change your website to tell the truth!! read more

Horrible drive thru service. Waited in drive thru this morning for a few minutes before the truck in front of me sped off, leaving 1 car ahead of me. Another 5 minutes waiting, I rolled down my window so I could what the people were saying ahead of me. They asked if it would be better to come inside because they had been waiting so long and the girl said they were not open. This is a time that they are opened in the morning, so I was confused. I decided to leave along with three other cars that were behind me. When I drove around there was one truck just sitting in the drive thru?? On another occasion, I ordered a coffee. When the boy handed it to me, the lid was not on, and the coffee spilled all over my arm. he apologized and I asked if I could have napkins to get the burning coffee off of my arm. Instead of giving me some, he decided to make sure the lid was on the coffee first. I had to ask again and he said he wanted to put the lid on. I had to remind him that my arm was burning and the lid could wait. His fingernails were filthy. Maybe they should buy a nail brush to have at their sinks so employees can scrub their nails. When you go in the morning, the employees are wearing dirty and wrinkled uniforms and look unkept and why are they always out of Frappes? read more

Make sure you check your order and the quality/freshness before you go out the door. We could not believe that they still serve such bad quality food in this country. We stopped outside Dahlonega at the lake to enjoy the meal, but oh boy, the food was cold and old . The french fries old and coffee like tap water.. We just threw everything away. Disgusting!! read more

Everyone recommends McDonald's. They have been around forever, but something has changed about their fries. After eating them your mouth feels greasy. read more

Friendly, prompt, and accurate service from the drive-thru staff. The only hitch was the apparent local morons who were talking on cell phones, playing on cell phones, and being generally idiotic. The detractors of this business likely fall into one or several of those categories, because my 10 minutes in the drive-thru were woefully extended by customers "Duh duh duh"ing at the speaker while trying to decide among the apparent plethora of breakfast foods, goofing off on trivial phone calls (I could hear the moron behind us talking loudly about fishing nonsense), or just being...generally idiotic. There's nothing wrong with this McDonald's. It is typically efficient and perfectly mediocre, exactly as a McDonald's should be. People expecting more should examine their lives closely and determine what's important to them, because bottles of Veuve Clicquot aren't going to tumble magically into your Egg McMuffin bag for free. Or even for a price. Settle down, Banjo Ben. An extra star above mediocre to make up for spiteful and trivial reviews. Because the conscientious folks at this place deserve at least that. read more

McDonald's - From drive thru #2 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dahlonega, Georgia

Donna, the nice older woman, and Kelly are the reason we return. Good service. Thanks

It can be either good or really, REALLY bad. The biggest gripe around town is the frequent unavailability of ice cream due to the machine rather constantly being torn. Drive through times can struggle greatly at times and the use of two drive through lanes here is practically useless in that they don't seem to be evenly waited on. The restaurant is good at times if you go in but at times it can be rather nasty and unappealing. Pick your day and maybe you'll get lucky. read more

Pitiful in staff appearances,massive turnover, staff never friendly & the place looks like a meth rehab. Slow service, not trained on MOBILE ORDERING, phone goes straight to FAX MACHINE! read more

OUCH! Even for McDonald's which has no clue what customer service means this location is really really bad. Stopped on the way out of town one morning for a "quick" breakfast and there was nobody in line. Although that should have served as our first clue it made us think we would get our order fast and be back on the road for our 7 hour trip to Florida but........ No such luck. Nobody really seemed to have any idea or clue what to do, what their job was or how to do their job. once we finally ordered we waited forever. Finally, after over 20 minutes we left with no food and unable to get any refund and went down the street and picked up food and coffee at the RaceTrac just down the street and were on our way in quick order. I sincerely doubt anyone at McDonald's realized we left or that we left with a pending order that was paid in full. Never Again, Buyer Beware, you get the point, if your schedule is open then you may want to stop but otherwise, we would say keep on going and pass this place by. Not sure how they stay in business but I guess if you collect money for orders you never serve then it all adds up. read more

It's not cheap, and it's not good. Pay $10 for a double burger and fries, and you'll get two overcooked-to-hell slabs of charcoal with toppings you asked to leave off, and a carton of icy-cold rocks they try to pass off as fries (let alone edible). This is where hopes go to die. read more

HORRIBLY RUDE!!!! Will interrupt you at the drive through. Deny service because they don't want to use the ice cream machine. Just all around terrible service especially at night. read more

I got yelled at because I was clarifying about their broken fry machine so i do not recommend. terrible customer service

Horrible service past 10. Can only place one order or pick up one order. Lazy workers.

They consistently mess up my order. Always a hit or miss on if they have certain menu items. Meh overall.

The food is fine and tastes like all other McDonald's. The problem is wait time for drive thru and online orders. The drive thru almost always takes forever and they will have you and three other people pull into other parking spots to wait. I have also done many online orders and two times they completely forgot about me and I had to go in to tell them. So advice, don't go through the drive through if you don't plan on waiting 20 min during lunch/dinner hours. read more

This store needs help. Bad. I've given this location a number of chances even had talks with their management to give them encouraging pointers. Not even coming down hard on them about it the way they deserve and nothing has changed. Every employee there is extremely rude and acts as if they are doing people a favor by doing the job they are paid to do. Tonight my fries tasted like they have been sitting out for at least 30 mins and the girl taking orders at the drive through kept trying to tell me my total after every item I ordered instead of waiting till I was actually finished ordering. I will not be back at this location for a while. I hope that the owner of this establishment reads this and puts some motivation into the employees at his store soon read more

I went through the drive through today during lunch hour to grab my son a McGriddle, and when the lady (pretty sure she was a manager) brought it out to me, the order was incorrect. That rarely happens to me at this McD's - I just want to put that out there. So the order's wrong, no biggie, people are human. So she takes it back in to correct it, and it took a little time because breakfast items are made to order. That's cool, I've got a little time. But let me tell you something, this manager was SO apologetic and absolutely bent over backwards to make it up to me. I was really impressed! The service at this location is really above and beyond. Maybe it's a small town thing, I don't know. But I really can't say enough nice things about this McDonald's and their staff. Keep up the good work! read more

Ngl fries are always hard but it's fast food so I get it Nice manager tho I like the outside seating Approved. read more

This is, by far, the slowest fast food restaurant I have ever been to. I have never waited less than 15 minutes in the drive-they, even when I am the only person in the line. This McDonalds is obviously very understaffed and the staff is under qualified, if that is even possible. If you can, try to avoid this place at all cost! read more

In the restaurant right now. Super rude employees -- management and staff. Didn't receive receipts and had them grudgingly shoved at us upon request of them. Offered smiles to employees and they were not returned, just given mean stares -- the same response when told "thank you." Iced tea was out so fellow diner asked for some. Worker poured some into her cup from a bucket. Saw workers touching the inside of the mop bucket and then putting the tea dispenser back together. Workers loudly told each other to "shut up" and I heard one of them ask another employee "are you f--ing blind." Manager is rude and touched cash then fries. Bathroom was "just cleaned" but has overflowing feminine hygiene receptacles. Employees slamming chairs around while swearing under their breath. I've been to upwards of 10 McDonalds locations across the nation recently during a road trip. Sad that my local McDs is so crappy. read more

Don't waste your time, you're better off going to Dawsonville. They got our order COMPLETELY wrong and charged us for things we didn't even receive. They also served us old stale fries that were plain gross. This isn't the first time I've had problems at this location. They also didn't even give us a receipt so that we could show what we were charged for. I really wouldn't just driven to Dawsonville. read more

I went to this location on Sunday at nOt a busy time. Once I got there the line for drive thru was backed up around the store but I was ok with waiting. I ordereD and waited about 15 minutes and got to the window once I was there I got my food but they had people in ever pull up parking spot and two cars in front of me pulled up so 5 cars in total. Well, I can't mOve from the spot I am at because I am blocked in. There is some loud rude pregnant woman running aarouns tryiNg to aSk people if this is there bag or not not knowing who's food is what. After about 10 minutes of being stuck behind the car that was pulled up they finally got there food and I got to pull away. There was still about 3 cars waiting and the staff seemed to careless and take their time. It was odd and very unorganized and in unprofessional I'm not sure who owns this location but I would be extremely embarrassed. Also, after I once got home my order was completely wrong and I'm pretty sure I got someone else's meal. The only thing correct was my kids happy meals so I guess one star is suiting as at least my kids got to eat. read more
